Nandi Madida calls out Errol Musk after controversial apartheid comments spark uproar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Errol Musk has drawn criticism in South Africa following remarks made during a CNN interview, in which he claimed that white South Africans \u201cfed\u201d black people during apartheid. Many have condemned this statement as offensive and historically incorrect.<\/p>\n

The father of billionaire Elon Musk appeared on Donie O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s upcoming show, MisinfoNation: White Genocide, where he dismissed the notion of racial oppression in that era.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you oppress? You know, we gave them work, we fed them,\u201d he said during the interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey grew from a tiny little group into a massive group. That\u2019s not oppression, that\u2019s feeding them! You only grow big if you get fed. You only start at 800,000 and become 50 million if you get fed! We fed them, for crying out loud! You know, enough with this nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n

His remarks quickly gained traction online, eliciting strong responses, including from media figure Nandi Madida, who felt compelled to respond.<\/p>\n

On November 16, 2025, Nandi shared a collage of nine images depicting traditional African life and culinary traditions, with the caption: \u201cWe fed them.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a subsequent message, she explained her motivation for speaking out.<\/p>\n

Nandi emphasized her commitment to ensuring that the next generation of black South Africans do not inherit skewed narratives about their heritage.<\/p>\n

She highlighted that African ancestors were innovators and builders long before colonial influence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI refuse for future generations to be brainwashed into believing our ancestors were anything less than extraordinary,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfricans come from brilliance, civilisation, innovation and genius, and colonialism has continuously appropriated, rewritten and exploited that at our expense. Our children deserve to know the truth about where they come from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exactly. I refuse for future generations to be brainwashed into believing our ancestors were anything less than extraordinary.
